First, I’m going to explain how I found your blog because I think it’s kind of funny: I was looking at my friend Julie’s page and your name was listed in her friends column (or whatever you want to call it) and your name sounded familiar, so i clicked on it and saw you were Seoul and then eventually clicked on this link. I realize none of that is interesting in itself, but your name was familiar to me because I was the receptionist that came after you at Midtown (and consequently left a year ago… but that’s not important, right?)

So basically, I’m some version of friend-of-a-friend mixed with random internet creeper. Exciting, right?

Anyway, I’ve just read several pages of your blog posts and I love it. I think you’re really funny and I love the things you post about. I haven’t taught English anywhere (though it is something I REALLY want to do), but I did study abroad twice and, for me, the small day-to-day happenings are what’s most interesting. And frustrating, funny, etc.

So the reason I am commenting is because I want to know how you found a teaching job in South Korea. Did you have training before you went? Did you go completely by yourself? Where did you go to get more information? I’ve always wanted to go abroad to teach (I somehow chose to move to DC instead of sending myself to South America to teach after graduation. I am ultimately happy with that decision, but I don’t think I’ll forgive myself if I don’t teach abraod, too). Can you tell me about your experiences? Anything you can tell me I would greatly appreciate.

You can holller at me here: boltisawesome [at] gmail [dott] com. I don’t normally feel compelled to write my email in that way, but whatever. I hope to hear from you soon and I hope this isn’t too weird or anything!
